Replacing the ink cartridge on the DM60

Try replacing your ink cartridge to improve your print quality.

The franking machine works on an ink drop system to determine when ink is low or depleted.

• When the Low Ink message appears, order a replacement ink cartridge.
• When the Ink Out message appears and the orange LED blinks, the ink supply is depleted and the franking machine will not print. Replace the ink cartridge immediately.
